Canadian Folk Music Award Winners for Aboriginal Songwriters of the Year
2016 and 2017
As Twin Flames take listeners on a musical journey across
Canada and the Arctic, they echo the voices of their ancestors
and depict life on the land. Together, Chelsey June (Métis)
and Jaaji (Inuk, Mohawk) represent Inuit, Indigenous and
Métis groups in Canada. Their songs are written in English,
French and Inuktitut. Through music they share the beauty of
their cultures and incorporate both traditional and western
instruments. This interactive show features original songs,
thought-provoking stories, Inuit throat singing and Indigenous
instruments (Traditional Hand Drum and Spirit Flute). For
younger audiences, Twin Flames are joined by their puppet
friends Tulugaq (Raven), Okpik (Owl), Nanuq (Polar Bear) and
Nattiq (Seal), as they explain how animals and nature play a vital
role in survival. Older audiences will learn about realities that
Inuit and Indigenous people face today and historical moments
that led to a changed way of life, through stories and songs.
